[Healeys] knock

[Tracy Drummond]

Jim,

Check the clevis pin and the hole in the brake pedal itself. Sounds odd but
the free play from wear can cause a thump which reverberates through the
firewall making it real tough to tell where the sound comes from.  Not bad
things to check anyway as the pins are pretty soft and get worn after 45
years.  You will also be able to validate why you will never qualify as a
contortionist!

Warm regards,

Tracy Drummond                  Gang Warily !

have a bj8 in the club that has a knock in left front wheel when brakes are
applied.  could also be on pax side but am too deaf to hear it.  have looked
at brake pads and calipers, hubs, bearings, steering links and boxes,
kingpins
and anything else that looks suspicious.   does not seem to do it while in
reverse.   any ideas?     healeymanjim
